...past one and might conceivably be Rip Van Winkle country; its doings, at least, could put people to sleep for 20 years. It offers a woodsy, folksy, pixie world where people hear a devil's call to wander, where a stern ramrod reverend and a kindly rolypoly one share the same pulpit, where Anthony Perkins, as a bedeviled wanderer's son, is afeared to marry his sweetheart, where people dart out of portable outhouses, or go in for bucolic frisks and nocturnal rituals, or pay such compliments as: "Cow has more but you are nicer...

Together the class conducted an enthusiastic search for the right company in which to invest their $18, finally bought one share of American Zinc (price last week: $15), avidly followed the market fortunes of "their" company all year-learning something of taxes, tariffs and fiscal policy in the process.
